My stupid German Shepard/Rottie mix runs through the screen at least once a summer, and my drunk ass is good for about half that. For 20 bucks it's easier than resplining it. In for 2 of the cheapos.
Might just be me, but I got sucked into watching the entire installation video even after realizing I couldn't use this.
I came across this sale a few days ago as I happened to be searching for doors. I bought three steel and one "heavy duty" aluminum. I've installed one of each. They work differently that the ones being replaced. The individual wheels aren't spring loaded..there's a spring loaded channel to which the wheels attach. Installation was simple...set into the grooves/channels. Hold door closed and tighten two lower screws that allow spring loaded channel /wheels to float. So secure the lower channel but allow the upper channel to float. Door works nice. Probably the biggest negative to these doors is the seal on the rear of the door. It's a bit stiff. it comes long for you to trim to size. Realistically it's working fine.
The aluminum version has a pretty slender handle that you poke with your finger to unlatch/open/close. It's larger on the steel version. The aluminum version is stiffer I suppose but I'm not sure what benefit that adds. When we close the door we still have to be somewhat gentle...you can't push it outward much as you slide it closed or it will flex too much and not go into the channel in the door jam. Not a big deal. Overall we're happy with the doors.

Guessing this can't be delivered within extravagant costs?
Yes, you're correct; truck delivery is $79. Store pickup is free. In my experience, Lowe's will hold internet orders at the customer service desk for a week or two.

wondering the same...the reviews indicate it may be worth it.
